A 48-year-old man who committed a series of crimes in Waterford city has been deported.
The man, who resided at Viking House hostel in Waterford city was arrested earlier this year on a deportation order.
In July 2025, he was charged with having committed threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour at Gracedieu Road. On this same date he is alleged to have had a hammer in his possession and was charged contrary to the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act.
In September 2025 he is alleged to have trespassed at a local school.
In February of this year, he was charged with having a claw hammer in his possession at John’s Lane in Waterford city.

All counts have therefore been withdrawn.
